"I think dynamic languages like python, perl and ruby work particularly well with Qt and all have very good bindings - PyQt, PerlQt and QtRuby. So I wouldn't wait for trolltech to tell you what to do - if you master the Qt api in one language you can easily switch to another because they are all pretty similar."

mastering is i big word, but i use the Qt api in C++. Yet i wait for officialy supported bindings before decide to go and master an other language than C++.

PyQt is the only Qt binding that's got a book written about it... Okay, so I didn't have time to keep the text updated, what with Krita and writing a novel and so on, and the publisher failed to get it available through Amazon which meant that it might as well not have been published at all, but I still have got a few copies for people who cannot find it in the bookshops.

For one thing, you can just take the C++ documentation and work with it. The few cases that do not map exactly the C++ are documented in one html page on Phil's PyQt site and that has proven to be very sufficient to me.

The other thing is that the support of Phil is great and very reactive (I wish TheKompany could have the same level) so I doubt that you will run into any problem. And there are a lot _less_ problems when programming in python than in C++.

And since Trolltech has license agreement that allows TheKompany to sell PyQt, you can consider that like an officiel support, no ?

I don't think so. Two reasons: Qt4.b1 was not too bad and since its release a lot things already improved in the snapshots. Second reason: It was not even clear if there should be a KDE 3.4.
If the core-devels decide to do a 3.5-release it will take 4 to 6 month. 3.4 will be released in March, so 3.5 won't be out before August 2005. At that point of time Qt 4.0.0 should already be out.

Warning, personal opinion only: After the release of 3.3 we start with KDE 4.0. That will be taking a while and will be rather end of Q4 than end of Q2, if not later. The Qt betas should be good enough to start the porting to Qt4 (are they?) KDE 3.3 will be the last release in the KDE 3.x series, apart from the occasional KDE 3.3.x bugfix releases.
